FOR NAVIGATORS
Become a Lung Screening Saves Navigator
We are dedicated to reducing the burden of lung cancer by increasing the number of people who get lung screenings each year. Join our Screening Saves network and help us build awareness, increase patient referrals, and help educate patients about the importance of lung screenings.
FOR PATIENTS
What’s a Lung Cancer Screening Navigator?
A patient navigator is trained to help guide people through the lung cancer screening process. They offer emotional support, assist with scheduling appointments, help with insurance and financial challenges, and explain the next steps after a screening.
EMPOWERING OUR SCREENING NETWORK
The Screening Saves program is designed to energize the medical community and our screening network to mobilize, educate, and compel eligible patients to get yearly lung screenings. We host quarterly Navigator Network meetings to collaborate, share data and best practices. Catch up on our Navigator Network meetings in the videos below.
